>Looks pretty tidy man.
Thanks... mine has a pretty hektik duck tail wing compared to his. Don't really know how to feel about the colour scheme, it depends on the day. Most of the time I really like a lot, but then I'll see a picture of a panda coupe or something and think "man that looks cool". I like the red pandas a lot as well. Was one for sale in Canberra last year that looked really tidy, but apparently it was pretty fucked. Everyone that commented on it (was posted on JDM Sales NSW) told other people to stay the fuck away from.
>>
>>16399964
Last AE86 I had my hands over was a series one, sr02det swap, in a silverish blue but pretty rough looking, and the clutch fork decided to get jam the car into second in Nasho.

Seemed like a hell of a lot of fun either way. Personally I am getting pretty tired of owning tidy cars because it just becomes something that forces you to hold back and care too much about what you own and would love a chance at owning something that I could truly call "how ya goin".

Yea, it's a fair whack of fun. Not sure what it's like in comparison to a larger car like a Commo or a Falcon, but it feels light and you can throw it round corners at pretty crazy speeds. The engine has NO TORQUE, there's like, nothing at all below about 3k RPM, but the party starts at about 4k and it screams all the way to 8.

Sort of feel the same way, would be nice to have a car that I don't have to care about. Suppose the Seca is a little that way but even then I feel bad if I really romp on it hard.

Sort of have a desire to pick up a really cheap and derelict looking R31 Skyline or something, RWD. Leave the trashed exterior as is, but build one hell of an engine and drivetrain for it, install some good suspension, and make it into a shitty sleeper with too much power.

Fit a VS front end to a Silva and you'll easily have a drifting Commo.

That aside, welded diff, decent coils and camber. You've got a lot of weight to try to shift and honestly better off just buying something better at the task.

Ah shit. Close miss.

>VE SS
You're the guy with the purple one, 420BLZ? Nah, don't get rid of it. I like it. If I had the money I'd probably get a VF SS.

And speaking from the other side, owning a beater that constantly has things going wrong isn't great. The amount you spend on replacement bits and pieces gets pretty ludicrous, to the point where you'd be able to buy something decent if you had saved instead.

Example - I've had the Seca a little over two years as a daily, and it's reliable, I definitely have a lot of trust in it. But the amount of stuff I've had to replace because shit's old and deteriorated is nuts.

You got me. It isn't by any means show car perfect but all I've done with it this year is track it and many other vehicles could provide better enjoyment for a lesser running cost. I suppose it's easier to pick at the cars you know the best.

Got bigger plans for the VH right now, mostly a new front end and more crazy in the engine bay.

Let me tell you: commodores are not chuckable. The only one that i've driven that was was a v6 auto vs that you had to throw into a corner to skid, for non-skidding driving fun it wasn't tossable though.

Good thing is, the ls1 v8s have so much torque that you don't have to rev. I can drive all day and not get past 2krpm.

Yeah the wonderful and gutless tractor motor 179 blue six. The front looks pretty tragic due to some offroading incident two years ago (pic related, top night) and made worse by my sister more recently backing a tow bar through the front of it, and surface rust is adding some hella mad patina to it, but otherwise it is easily the best car I have ever owned for the fact that spending 5x the value of the car on suspension overhauling and a good wheel alignment on a 16x7 P20 wheels just suits what it is and what it can do so perfectly.

It is in desperate need of a lot more modern power now since I'll get out dragged by a new auto Corolla and I don't want to go down the LS or RB path.

I'm looking at lighter engines, but would also happily settle with building up a screaming Holden red for it to obtain that period correct feeling. Turbo SR20 has crossed my mind as well. Set far back in the bay it should handle nicely and since I'm not chasing figures I'm fine with having a 150-200hp plant in an old car only weighing 1200kg since I already have the VE for all the Wangan madness.

>>16400143
Go-fast parts are hard to come by for the blue motors now but still possible if you try hard enough. I got dyno'd in my 2.85L model when I had the factory carby rebuilt back in 2013 at 60rwkw. Magnificent starting point I know. These were engines adapted to meet crippling smog standards in the late 70s/early 80s. The torque and super short gearing helps keep it feeling fast enough.

I still have the exhaust air pump in place. Pic of the bay when I first collected this beast from Broken Hill back in '13. Nothing has evolved in there since I bought it.

If you wanted something "different" without creating a heck of a lot of work for yourself, I'd go down the path of turbocharging a rebuilt Blue six.
You CAN do it yours, but if it were me I'd be starting out with a 202 blank canvas. Find yourself the injection manifold setup from a VK and adapt it to the motor (pic related). Apply what ever injectors, engine management and exhaust manifold you want and go from there. If it were me, I'd aim to make it look as though a turbo option that could've been factory.

Otherwise you'd never be late with a Three Oh Eight.

>All those hose clamps on what looks to be the fuel line

Looks brutally simple though, must be easy to work on. I like that.

>These were engines adapted to meet crippling smog standards in the late 70s/early 80s
That explains quote a lot. To be fair, even the Holden V8s of the era were pretty gutless.

If I were you, I'd want to keep it period correct with a hot 179. Big cam, head porting, triple webers if possible, nice flowing extractors. Few people on YouTube seem to be squeezing 225+ hp out of them without too much issue.

>>16400167
>Honestly i'd love to see a modified 4age or whatever motor is in the s2k.
Ironically, all 4A-G's make more power stock for stock. That's why I was so surprised the Holden six made so little, my little 20V has a fair whack more despite nearly half the displacement.

Fully modded 16V would be cool. Especially if you got ITB's for it. Prepare for absolutely no torque at all.

Given that RBs maintained a level of bolt in ability, it still makes a lot of sense. While I don't know about VT-VZs, I do know for a fact that RBs are literally a bolt in for VN-VS with a VL K-frame. With the stil relatively light 90s sedan that the Commodores were, it makes for a fun daily driver.

Stumbled on that same page early in the year actually. From my last job I actually managed to obtain a full EFI manifold, fuel regulator, wiring harness, "ECU" and other odd bits and pieces off someone who was trying to make an EFI Torana but ended up selling the project for a Valiant project instead. What I didn't get and still kick myself over was not taking the black 202 EFI head and cam as well since it is regarded the best flowing factory head and has a few tiny differences that make fitting up the EFI manifold a lot easier.

I cleaned all the parts up but never ended up doing anything with them since the consensus for an NA 6 is to stick with double or triple SU or Weber configurations for better power.
>>
>>16400238
Oh yes, you'll always see better results on the dyno with independant throttles, be they EFi or carburetored. But in terms of drivability and tunabilty the EFi manifold is a fantastic solution for budget Holden turbocharged applications.
The only flaw with the setup is the manifolds being on the same side makes packaging a little cramp.
If this is VHguy, and you already have the setup tucked away for a rainy day... then I reckon you'd be silly not to go down this path.
Saves getting half way through a butchered project trying to make something fit that was never designed to be there.
>>
>>16400257
This is VH guy. I know of some shops still making/building 12 port heads. Once my bonuses start rolling in next year I might start making some calls and get some overhaul moving along. Choo choo just for the sound and FEELS would be excellent.

Hey /dat/,
My mum is buying a car for my sister and I'm helping out to make sure it's not shit.

She's about to bite the bullet on this, but I'm not completely convinced, is this a good deal from the looks of it?

We've been looking at i30's Mazda 3's and shit but this one is a much newer year and much cheaper with less k's.

Am I being meme'd are fords shit?

Models prior to that body style used to have issue with massive amounts of water leaking in through the lights around the hatch and subsequently fill your floor with water. Happened to every Focus in my work fleet.

Interior design is super functional. Pillars aren't hugely annoying but there are some typical rear corner blindspots that you need to be mindful of when making lane changes.

Can't say anything about the auto because our whole fleet was manual.
>>
>>16404373
They are shit

>>16404407

They have dual clutch which apparently have a host of their own problems, but I haven't found too much else condemning.

Exploding DCT automatics. It's an expensive Getrag unit branded as the "PowerShift". Might just be an issue with the earlier models but I knew two chicks who had Focuses (Foci?) with tranny issues.

This isn't an issue with all Getrag DCT automatics, just the Ford ones.

If the ls400 is fairly low mileage and good condition go for it.

I'd recommend a Commodore Falcon over a 26 year old luxury car due to being cheaper and more common

If you didn't butt in and reply to EVERY single question in a thread with irrelevant and most wrong information, you wouldn't be so bad.

You frequently talk shit and have no idea what you're talking about.

That and you always destroy cars and gearboxes especially. You're worse with cars than that bloke who manages to keep killing his Toyotas.

FUCKING PLEASE PREPAY

god i fucking hate servos
do they honestly think im going to fucking steal fuel in a bright red sportscar?

i was going to fill a full fucking tank there too, i told the cunt i only wanted 10 bucks instead

like god fucking damn, i'm not going in twice.

do these autistic pajeet cunts think this shit will actually not piss off their customers?
>>
>>16406437
Whenever they ask me to prepay i just drive off to the next servo up the road.

I think it's to try and get you to go in twice and potentially buy more shit, but they should re-evaluate how much it pisses people off.
>>
>>16406437
After hours at my local I just rock up, Pajeet yells on the intercom to prepay so I put in what I want and pay at the hose, then piss off

Never have to walk up to the counter
>>
>>16406479
i'm fucking raging about it for 2 reasons.

1. i don't like being assumed to be a fucking criminal
2. IT'S FUCKING ANNOYING to have to go in twice, one to give him some cash and then back in to get my change after finding out how much my tank needs to be full.

literally the worst buisness practice and a fantastic way to piss off customers.

would have bought almost 70 liters of fuel, instead i bought only 10 bucks.
>>
>>16406437
Never had this happen to me but I don't think the servos I go to have pre pay.

>>16406516
not falcunt mate and the eftpos shit is retarded.

you know they debit your card for 100 bucks, hold it for 7 days and then refund your change at some servos?

Prepay is the scummiest shit ever. Not only are they always jacking up the price of petrol (i've seen some servos 60 cents higher than others in the area) these scummy cunts are trying to either do the money holding shit talked about here >>16406522 where they make interest off your money that you could have sitting in an account making your own interest....or they're trying to get you to fucking walk in and pay, go back out and come back in (they want you to buy drinks and lollies in the store for outrageous prices).

>>16406528

>>
>>16406561
I mean, it's not a scummy area. I honestly think it's just a money grubbing servo thing, they want me to go in twice if i want a full tank and i'm not having any of it.

They should be thankful for the customer picking them, not the other way around.
>>
>>16406565
Tell him to get fucked then I would and I have.

Is it the same curry nigger attendant each time? Report him ring up head office
>>
>>16406540
because it's fucking 3am, they literally do not give a shit for your needs at that time, especially when there's cunts out late that would smash him

stop being autistic or buy your fuel at a reasonable hour
>>
>>16406575
Are you stupid? 3am is fucking prime hooning hours, why else would he want to be filling up?

They're clearly doing it just to make him buy lollies or some crap and good on you for not buying a full tank.

Only way they'll stop is if they start to lose business.

And how the fuck is the cunt going to get bashed if he just turns the pump on and lets the dude pay after?

He has more likelyhood of getting bashed by letting someone in the store twice and pissing them off.

I hope you all have a good year even this miserable prick I'm replying too especially he obviously has it in for me and anyone who doesn't hate me so huh yeah dude just chill out with? Hell I'd buy you a beer and sit down and have a chat rather than smash ya face in cuz I'm that kinda guy.

Peace out

Happy new year bro

Just saying here In WA at my local Servo I've become quiet good friends with Pajeet. When ever I come to fuel up either my work car (diesel) or my sporty car (ulp 98) he always charges me as diesel. It's good because I just claim it all on work related expense. The guy actually remember the pin code and typed it in for me all I have to do is say what's up sign and say I'll see you next week.

what website do you guys use to buy beaters/shitbox's off of? aussie craigslist is nothing but american's selling ((((classic)))) cars.
>>
>>16409054
Gumtree
>>
>>16409054
Gumtree for lowest common denominator, carsales for slightly better and less wog/pajeet infestation
>>
>>16409054
Can you explain to us why Craigslist is so rubbish, yet all Americans use it?

Like, for example - if I wanted to search the entire United States for a specific car, I can't. Because CL is laid out state by state or city by city and it only allows you to search within that city.

Fucking why?
>>
>>16409096
use searchtempest, it'll search all craigslists.

It's organized by area because people don't want to travel 200 miles to buy cheap shit. If I had the money to be driving around america looking for my ideal car, I wouldn't be using craigslist in the first place. Craigslist is where you go for bottom of the barrel in both price and quality. People who know what they're doing lurk for good deals, like somebody selling their dead grandfather's car or a trying to make quick cash on a barn find and not knowing how much it's actually worth.
Our craigslist isn't just cars too, there's everything. It's just shit people would normally sell in a yard sale but yard sales only happen in the summer and craigslist is year-round.

>>16409132
>use searchtempest, it'll search all craigslists.
Wow, that's actually pretty helpful. Had no idea this existed. I always assumed that Americans just went to each Craigslist for surrounding cities separately to search if they wanted something rare and hard to find.

>It's organized by area because people don't want to travel 200 miles to buy cheap shit.
I guess that makes sense. You guys have a lot more people packed into the same space. Sometimes the travel is necessary is Australia if you want to find something that isn't a particularly common vehicle, given that we have 25 million people spread out over the continent. Melbourne to Sydney isn't too bad.
>>
>>16409096
Craigslist is great, Australia probably doesn't have enough people using it. There are many aggregate sites where you can search around any radius.
>>
>>16409145
I assume that's an aggregator that searches all used car dealer databases? We've got several. Autotrader, Truecar, Car Guru, and then I think Carfax (the vin checker) offers a search engine for cars that have been checked through them in the past and are currently for sale. KBB and Edmunds have search services too.

Merry new year you spectacular bunch of retards

HAPPY NEW YEAR CUNTS! LET'S MAKE THIS A COPYPASTA!
~~~~~~

The victorian government is known for lying about statistics to further their agenda of revenue raising. Despite constant cries for more speed cameras and fines to make us "safer" the road toll has gone up year after year since 2013 even accounting for new drivers!

http://www.tac.vic.gov.au/road-safety/statistics/lives-lost-year-to-date

But it gets better. So they've been feeding us all this crap about how "speed cameras save lives" and they even have their own site with some fantastic sources! Let's take a look at those "sources" shall we?

http://www.camerassavelives.vic.gov.au/home/road+trauma/research+and+evidence/

The "independent" research arm they are getting their studies from is actually not that impartial at all!
That's right, it's the monash uni accident research center. A government funded center that is dependent on revenue raised by cameras to stay open. That's right, these researchers will lose their jobs if a steady revenue stream is not met.

The government cannot provide a single cited source from a truly independent source. Meanwhile....
http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/140kmh-safer-in-australia-safety-expert-20101011-16fer.html

That's right, german researchers from Porsche and Mercedes have shown evidence our low speed limits on highways actually cause accidents. Surprise surprise, germans have the derestricted autobahn and have lower accidents per 100k than we do.

It gets better. We're constantly fed a stream of propaganda that young drivers are a menace in their "high powered hoonmobiles" and we should worry about them. Yet statistics tell a completely different story.

http://www.tac.vic.gov.au/road-safety/statistics/lives-lost-year-to-date

That's right, 40-49 and 70+ aged people are causing fatal accidents at TWICE the rate. Meanwhile in tasmania, where there are no restrictions on the type of car a young person can drive...
>>
>>16409845
http://www.transport.tas.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/141474/Fatality_Calendar_Year_to_Date_30_September_2016.PDF

You guessed it, tasmania P plate drivers are actually quite safe in their modern high powered cars, making up a very small percent of accidents. Once again, it's boomers who are the menace on our roads, as shown by statistical evidence.

Now if this has not gotten your blood boiling, prepare to hate our government even more.

http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/northern-territory-to-drop-open-speed-limits-20160830-gr4d5c.html

For a while, the NT had open speed limits in a portion of road. There was ZERO DEATHS. That's right, ZERO.
Recently they have removed the de-restriction by citing these BULLSHIT LYING VICTORIAN STATISTICS ON SPEED and now, we can expect deaths again.

See, due to the geography of the NT it is actually more dangerous to drive slow. More deaths happen due to fatigue and we can expect to see deaths again, now the speed limit is back to 110.

We had a period of years where it was PROVEN the derestricted zone worked, with not a single death....and they're now playing with people's lives for MUH FEELS and muh revenue.

Cleans up pretty good, no?

I'm not sure what to do about the peeling black paint on the window trim, should I scrape off the rest and try to polish it, or try and remove the trim so I can sandblast and repaint it?

I'd almost be tempted to keep it, but the 2.5L diesel is unbearably gutless.

Find a wrecked PB/PC Challenger or MN Triton and grab that commonrail 4D56 out of it!
Or just cruise everywhere steady remembering the tortoise and the hair :P
>>
>>16410126
You'll be lucky to get any power out of them and a modern EFI swap will make more power and use less fuel.

Get a 308 and stick a manual behind it.

Get a old 5.0 1990-98 falcadore and work on that instead unless you find a decent kingswood for cheap
>>
>>16410116
stay safe sand blasting metal panels.
can warp them especially if theyre thin. soda blasting takes off paint and wont etch glass or warp metal but it's slower.
>>
>>16410138
>Find a wrecked PB/PC Challenger or MN Triton and grab that commonrail 4D56 out of it!
That'd require a lot more money and work than I'm willing to throw at this car, honestly.

It's too slow to cruise, that's the thing. Any speeds above 80km/h and it just doesn't want to go, and really starts drinking fuel. I don't have to go above 60 to get to work, but it's a massive hindrance on getting out and exploring Australia.

>>16410126

They're cool, go for it if you can find a decent example

Do it. I love the sound of carbies
>>
>>16410180
true that carbs are trash compared to what today's efi can offer.
I just love the aesthetics of these older v8s compared to post 90s v8s. often theyre much lighter too.
2000s v8 falcadores make me want to top myself, theyre so bland and uninteresting.

how difficult would an EFI conversion be to do? I'd assume youd need to go aftermarket ECU and engine wiring harness on top of that?
>>
>>16410229
The only place you lose out on power is mid range. Carbies will still pull close to the same peak power due to how they work. I'd say an efi swap isn't worth it unless you are chasing high power numbers.
>>
>>16410229
>2000s v8 falcadores make me want to top myself, theyre so bland and uninteresting.

That's why you get a 3.8, chop 2 cylinders off and make a 4manger

You can custom build an engine from the original mangtec

Or you can just hunt around for a V4. Pretty fucking rare though, unless you want a motorbike.

maybe if you found an old ford capri but that doesn't happen for under 10k

thoughts on a BA XR6 turbo ute in manual?
i think it could be a good mix between practicality and peformance

they seem pretty cheap for what they are ( around 9k-14k according to gumtree) when compared to imports and such
>>
>>16410650
so much easier to get an xr6t that has stronger internals, better compression etc.

Yeah, in that case I'd simply sell it in good shape and buy either a 4M40 Paj, 1HZ J80 or a TD42 GQ. All of them dependable mechanical diesels that'll happily sit at highway speed and get through hell and back.
I'm sure the Astron based diesel had its place in the 80s but the industrial/light commercial 4M diesel made it redundant.

They handle like crap. If the measure of the "performance" balance you're concerned about is only highway pulls, burnouts and creating a budget dyno queen, then the XR6T ute will still tick those boxes. But if your idea of performance driving involves more than straight line antics, the Holden SS ute is a much more accomplished hay hauler.
